Today I attempted to modify the maintenance plan “User Databases – Weekly Backup” on a SQL 2005 SP3 server and received the following error message: “Error loading type library/DLL.‘
The fix for this is to open a command line and run the following commands:
regsvr32 msxml6.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
I couldn’t seem to locate a reason why re-registering these DLL files would be necessary. After registering the DLL’s and making my changes to the maintenance plan everything saved properly.
